Michelin will be supplying Indigo Airlines with tyres for its Airbus and ATR aircrafts. These planes will be fitted with Michelin Air radial tyres that are claimed to reduce operation costs.
The Michelin Air X radial tyre uses a radial casing design and is constructed using fewer components, making it more environment friendly. It is claimed to offer better fuel efficiency and reduced operational costs through an increased number of landings. The tyre has improved resistance to foreign object damage.
Indigo Airlines was set up in August 2006. Today, it operates flights to 48 domestic and 11 international destinations and has a fleet of 189 aircrafts. The airline has been adding A320 NEO family planes to its fleet. The planes come equipped with Michelin tyres.
